Chromosomal analyses were performed on lymphocytes, fibroblasts and lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from a Saudi family with ataxia telangiectasia (AT). The three siblings of a consanguineous marriage were all affected. The lymphocytes of the AT homozygotes (probands) showed an increase of 2- to 6

## Abstract Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a human autosomal recessive disorder in which patients show a marked predisposition to malignant disease and cytogenetic abnormalities. We report here the levels of spontaneously occurring chromosome aberrations and particularly the presence of cytogenetica
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessive disease involving chromosomal instability, susceptibility to cancer and X-ray hypersensitivity. The latter two features are expressed to a limited extent in the heterozygous carriers of A-T mutations. Although fibroblast lines from A-T heterozygo
Two of three brothers with the classical signs of ataxia telangiectasia were investigated for their immunological disorders at the ages of 13 and 16 years, respectively. The elder brother also suffers from autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a complication which has not yet been described in the course of
Six adjacent metaphases, each with the same cytogenetic aberration of a group D chromosome, most probably a No. 14, were observed in a field of a slide from a 96-hour culture of lymphocytes from an individual with ataxia-telangiectasia (AT). None of the 304 other metaphases examined from this or oth
